Rodrigo Mora: Porto to Roma

Roma signed the 19-year-old playmaker for £21.4m after he fell out of favour at Porto. He's already scored his first goal for the Giallorossi under manager Gian Piero Gasperini.

“He played a big part in my decision to come here because he likes players with my qualities.”

Elliot Stroud: Mjällby to Hull

Hull signed the Swedish international for £3.5m after he won the Swedish title with Mjällby. The versatile 24-year-old can play full-back, wing-back, left-winger or in midfield.

“He's a very good player; he's very versatile. He can play full-back, wing-back, left-winger, and in the middle.”

Aubameyang: Marseille to Deportivo

The 37-year-old striker joined Deportivo for £1.3m on reduced wages to play regular La Liga football. He's already scored five goals in seven league games.

Satoshi Tanaka: Fortuna to Schalke

Schalke signed the 24-year-old holding midfielder for £900,000 from relegated Fortuna Düsseldorf. On his Bundesliga debut, he helped Schalke hold Bayern Munich to a goalless draw.

“His work rate and intensity fit our game really well.”

Nico Elvedi: Mönchengladbach to Leeds

Leeds signed the Swiss centre-back for £6.8m after 11 years at Borussia Mönchengladbach. He's reunited with manager Daniel Farke and has settled quickly in the back three.

“It was just one year but I loved him as a manager. I learned a lot from him and I will learn a lot now.”

Gabriel Vidovic: Dinamo Zagreb to Paderborn

Paderborn smashed their transfer record to sign the 22-year-old Croatian playmaker for £2.6m. A former Bayern Munich academy talent, he returns to the Bundesliga after loan spells.

“His sporting CV speaks for itself.”

Giovanni Reyna: Mönchengladbach to Strasbourg

Strasbourg signed the 23-year-old winger for £2.6m after a disappointing season at Gladbach. Once hyped alongside Bellingham and Haaland at Dortmund, he's begun promisingly in France.

Flávio Nazinho: Cercle Brugge to Monaco

Monaco signed the attacking left-back for £4.3m from partner club Cercle Brugge. After recording four goals and eight assists last season, he's made an immediate impact at Monaco.

Fran García: Real Madrid to Real Betis

Real Betis signed the left-back for £3.2m plus 50% of future sales as Madrid cleared fringe players. At 27, García has over 100 appearances for Madrid and two full seasons on loan at Rayo Vallecano.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Lyon to Everton

Everton signed the versatile former Arsenal full-back for £4.3m on deadline day. His late equaliser against Manchester United has already justified the investment.

Last year's picks: Robin Roefs

The Dutch goalkeeper's commanding presence was key as Sunderland secured European football. He kept 10 clean sheets in 35 league games.

Last year's picks: Carlos Soler

The midfielder enjoyed a much more prominent role at Real Sociedad after leaving PSG. He scored in the Copa del Rey final shootout victory over Atletico Madrid.

Last year's picks: Adrian Truffert

The left-back settled quickly in Bournemouth's rebuilt defence and helped his side qualify for Europe. He was called up by Zinedine Zidane for the Nations League.

Last year's picks: Berke Ozer

The goalkeeper kept a league-best 13 clean sheets in his first season, helping Lille finish third. He retained the number one spot despite the arrival of Orlando Gill.

Last year's picks: Ferran Jutglà

The forward made a solid start at Celta with nine La Liga goals but struggled to make an impact in Europe. He hit a purple patch in March and is now playing regularly as a number nine.

Last year's picks: Ernest Poku

The winger featured regularly in his first season at Leverkusen but was allowed to join Besiktas on a loan-to-buy deal. He scored in their Europa League win over Marseille.
